Get it
Lyrics
Oh good Lord it’s Christmas
I wish I’d be some other place
I wish Christmas died along with Christ
And Nicholas, the Saint, went on for a few more days
And I ain’t definitely not gonna spend my money on my family
And most certainly not gonna spend a dollar on some dead green plastic tree
Everybody across the nation
It’s time to celebrate on every radio station
Clap your hands to the First of Noel
Born is the King of Israel
I’d rather hang myself
Than write a song about clocks ‘n bells
Since the good old 20th century Christmas’ is all about feeding the economy
I ain’t no hater, but I know sooner or later everybody will see what’s wrong
But until that day, let’s get shitfaced
Put the duck into the oven Christmas has begun
Everybody across the nation
Let’s bow down in prair for this celebration
Clap your hands let’s give ‘m hell
Born is the King of Israel
When I’m in my bed
After the fun family time we had
I think of all them hungry children
And ooh, it makes me sad
I think about John Lennon
And about his words
And all that is wrong
He sang: “So this is Christmas and what have we done!?”
Whether you like it or not
You’ve got to go to your Christmas spot
‘Cause if you’ve got that feeling
It’s time for your Christmas healing
Even if you’re stuck in traffic
Don’t panic, it’s kind of romantic
There’s so much snow outside
Let’s get together and hide with the Christmas vibe
